C’mon, Dudley…

Ah, election season. Today’s obnoxious mail comes from our friends at the National Association for Gun Rights.

I think they meant Phil Gingrey. The guy doesn’t even have red hair, so it’s not accurate to refer to him as “gingery.”

Or it could be they’re too busy slandering real 2nd Amendment advocates to be bothered with trivialities like spell check.

Probably the latter. I really don’t expect much competency from an organization whose sole purpose seems to be nipping at the heels of the NRA. Frankly, Dudley Brown has his hands full making a fool of himself in Colorado. I’d appreciate him not splashing around in our pool.

That said, the primary race to replace Senator Chambliss is already as wretched as can be. While Gingrey has been an unwavering friend to the 2nd Amendment, I’m not fond of his support for CISPA or for FISA expansions. As far as I’m concerned, those are both huge fails on the civil liberties front.

Senator Saxby Chambliss is retiring at the end of his term next year, and already the vultures are circling. Representative Broun is one of the primary contenders for that seat. You may have noticed his signs cluttering local roadways.

I’ll say it bluntly: Paul Broun is utterly unfit to represent us in the Senate.

Broun holds a seat on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. Among other things, he’s in charge of funding for NASA and the Department of Energy. As such, I find it a little unsettling when he says things like this:

[The Bible] teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in society. And that’s the reason as your congressman I hold the Holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and I’ll continue to do that.

We’re talking about the same Bible that tells us Ï€ is exactly three.
